I have been very pleased with the amount of fuel that my new woodbridge pro mount 20 truck mount uses.
Today I was cleaning some corridors in an office block. I filled my fuel tank up before I started, and then topped it up after.
I had used £4.00 of fuel. ;D
The machine had been running for 1.5hrs.
So that’s £2.66 per hour !
So far, so good, 8)
Cheers

Chris I would say that was pretty good. Better than mine. A lot of it I would imagine is the load you put
on the machine and its size. What rpm does it run at and what size is the engine. But again under 3
quid an hour is very good. Best, Dave.

hi dave i have the 20 panther and mine is similar fuel consumption [slightly higher] even on full power
-
Is the panther called the 20 because of its horse power? If it is then yours is using even more fuel than
mine is. Mine costs a gallon per 75 minutes of use. Chris, again, what is the horse power on yours and
to you both at what rpm does the machines run at? Not that any of this really matters but it is good to
know. Cheers, best, Dave.

I have a Hydramaster Boxxer 421 it's 2.5 years old and although I don't use it on full throttle (there's no need) I use approx £8.50 a day which is approx 5 hours cleaning, which equates to £1.70 an hour.
Just as a matter of interest I wonder what John Kelly's machine runs at ? I can imagine his prowler TM being very economical, over to Restormate.

On a recent flood cleanup the Prowler was running flat out for 9 hours per day over 4 days. It used 12 litres of fuel per day. Also need to take into account a couple of refreshment breaks. So it was probably in use for 8 hours.
